Integrations

Tap to rate

Eggers Special, a Riwaka hop variant from a niche New Zealand grower, returns alongside Mosaic: it dials up a dank, cannabis-like profile that is softened by touches of white wine, fresh passionfruit and overripe mango. Cloudwater first used the hop in late 2025 and has since added it to a few beers; this 6% hazy IPA shows it off.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Integrations

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, opaque body typical of the style. A dense, creamy white head forms and clings to the glass with sustained lacing. Fine carbonation yields a soft, pillowy mouthfeel despite moderate bubble activity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced dank, cannabis-like character from Eggers Special that dominates the initial impression. White wine notes and fresh passionfruit emerge alongside overripe mango, adding a sophisticated tropical dimension. Subtle herbal and resinous undertones frame the hop expression without aggressive earthiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied despite the moderate 6% ABV, with the funky hop character integrated into the palate rather than jarring. Mid-palate balances dank, grassy notes against bright passionfruit and mango sweetness; the 50 IBUs provide restrained bitterness that lingers without dominating. Finish is clean, refreshing, and slightly fruity, with just enough hop bite to frame the overall character.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste remains hoppy and dank with lingering tropical notes, fading gradually over several minutes. A mild, pleasant astringency from the hops persists, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, dank, tropical character as Integrations will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
